Constant Phone Checking solutions! The Un-Social Network.

Here's an interesting article on the addictive habit of constantly checking out cell phones. I think it's an annoying habit and frustrating when friends or patients are constantly distracted while trying to have a real "social" conversation.

Webmd article on Smoking effects on the brain

(WebMD) 

   Smoking is bad for the brain, especially for male smokers.
Men who smoke tend to have a more rapid mental decline than men who do not smoke, a new study shows. But the findings did not reveal a similar link between smoking and mental decline in female smokers.Although the exact reason for the sex difference is unclear, one possibility is that women tend to smoke fewer cigarettes a day than men do and for fewer years. Other lifestyle habits, such as male smokers drinking more alcohol, may also account for some differences seen.

Insurance for Acupuncture: United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Oxford

As we all know, Acupuncture can be expensive. Unfortunately most insurance do not cover acupuncture in New York City, but it is still possible. Most companies, like United Health care and Aetna do have out of network coverage for acupuncture, but they are hard to come by. Insurance plans with out of network coverage for acupuncture usually come from businesses with an expensive health care plan for their employees,

Fortunately most insurance plans cover acupuncture in-network. The choices for in-network acupuncture practitioners are sparse because the reimbursement is very low and most acupuncturist can not make a living on such low rates.

Acupuncture for the NFL

Interesting article on treating NFL players with acupuncture. Recently I've had college and NBA players come in for treatments for stiff joints and muscle fatigue. Fortunately they felt much better and relaxed in time for their next game.
